The Kitchen Table

~Too Good Not to Quote

16 years ago

...I heard this quote a little while ago on the television show "Rules of Engagement".

I apologize.

I do not know any of the actor or actress's name in this series. Except for the sarcastic blonde guy from the credit card commercials, I find the show hilarious.

I do not know what the situation was.

Sorry but I was cleaning my kitchen cabinet and making space for a new coffeemaker and wasn't paying attention to the tv.

The dark haired, dry-witted guys says 'this reminds me of the people who keep calling the Three Stooges to fix their plumbing. They NEVER get it right!'.....

LOL

Good observation,huh?

Jenni, don't you have to buy their coffee periodically? They kept sending me their offer. Please let us know how their coffee taste.

I didn't get a new coffeemaker but I got me a new Cuisinart Burr Mill coffee grinder at Sam's for $30. Haven't used it yet 'cause I still have some coffee left to use up.

How easily does 'Heritage' root?
Q

ehann, that's great. I hope one of these roots that fast. Hoovb ... excellent. But I didn't use the piece that was the "heel". I didn't know that piece made the best section for cutting, so I threw it away! I'll be sure to use the "heel" next time. Thanks for that information, I had no idea. triple_b, good luck with your Sharfia Asma cutting. Hope it takes for you. Carla, no, I don't grow Evelyn. My Heritage was planted near the end of last summer. It is now 3.5 feet tall & 4 feet wide. I'm sure it will get a lot larger. I love Heritage, it has already risen to the top of my favorites list, along with PG&A. A light scent of honey & lemon drifts into your nose when you sniff its blooms. Very unusual, very subtle, very good. But you must fully understand that Heritage is a garden plant, not a cutting plant ... don't even consider buying this rose for cutting. A compensation is that the blooms are attractive to their very end, even the pristine petals lying around the shrub on the ground look good (I think I'm setting myself up for a joke there). And it is a very frequent bloomer. Randy

Love this idea. My yard is not loved by neighbors because we have eliminated most of our grass and do little clean-up until Spring and even then, it is minimal. Wild and wonderful.

Too Good To Throw Away
Q
Comments (4)
That is really nice that the landfill has a section for "too good to throw away." Nothing like that here. They won't let you take anything...of course, it is all mixed up with household garbage, so pretty nasty. Lots of good things are thrown away all the time. I am not at all hesitant to stop and pick up something off the curb or even snatch something out of a dumpster. Often people will sit out good, useable items to the side of the dumpster, or put it out the day before trash pickup. I got a nice french door, an antique trunk, a couple of side tables and old wooden shutters not too long ago. I couldn't believe they were throwing it away, so I went to the door and knocked...and the lady said they cleaned out the garage, and she was glad I was going to take it. I gave the trunk and one table and shutters to my friend, and kept the french door and one of the side tables. Going to use the door in the house. It had all the hardware and everything. Perfect condition.

I used up two batches of their coffee and cancelled. With Gevalia you can cancel at any time.
You don't have to order anything really after they send the free coffeemaker.
And they do not question you cancelling at all.
Their coffeemakers are nice but the coffee is a bit overpriced. It's a wonder they make any money tho, they give coffeemakers away by the hundreds. LOL

I've had one of those that I got free many years ago.
We didn't use it much except when we had company..the coffee pot was a carafe...Just a few days before Christmas when I made tea I poured it in the coffee pot...it sat like that for about 10 mins then all of a sudden it popped.

I noticed an add that they have now...it is stainless, comes with a thermos and a travel coffee cup...and two packages of coffee...for 22 dollars

I've been thinking about doing that again...

I bought myself a new carafe for Christmas.

I think that's "Gevalia".

I've received their offer several times, over a few years.

I don't need anything resembling a 10-cup coffee maker: the mice don't drink coffee ... and I don't offer.

All that I offer is some peanut butter ... on a plastic paddle ... connected to a mechanism ... that surprises me when something hits that paddle ... and there's a "SNAP".

Then ... I need some coffee for my nerves (but not 10 cups).
